Gueuzerie Tilquin Oude Quetsche Tilquin à l’Ancienne (2015) Lambic – Fruit at 6.4% ABV (C$12.58 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 375 ml, best before 3-Feb-2025, reviewed 11-Apr-2016)
Appearance: hazy reddish pale to medium amber with a short loose foamy head diminishing rapidly to nothing, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: dusty barnyard funk, green apple and plums, woody and vinous notes. (9/10) Taste: mild to moderate sweet, strong tart, mild funk. (9/10) Palate: light body, prickly to moderate carbonation, very dry tart funky finish. (4/5)
Based on my notes, very similar to last year’s vintage. My main intention in doing this one again was to compare vintage variations to style variations: I’ve got an “avec Prunes de Namur” that I will do shortly. Really, a top-notch super tart lambic. (19/20)
